RE: Time for STEEMIT to put it's big boy pants on - PRIVACY MATTERS
Great idea! But I doubt it will be hidden.
I think what people need to do is not tell via a public forum where they are at any one time or your address, ever!
One of those Kardashians kept instagramming or tweeting what she was doing as she was doing it, then she got attacked and robbed in her hotel. Now she doesn't. Was that Russian tourist tweeting or instagramming?
There are already so many websites showing net worth of the famous and rich. It's not a new practice.
I don't think our earnings will get hidden, we've gotta do the hiding and not be so public or transparent with our intentions etc...
While I agree with your sentiment, that people should be more careful about what they post online, the way the platform currently displays it makes us all a target without us volunteering that information. I would be especially concerned if I was youtube celebrity as you could possibly be recognised or what if someone organised a steemit meeting in your city, you could be walking into a trap simply because you have no control over who see's account.
Bitcoin was designed to give control back to the people and I feel that this kinda goes against that mantra. I think in the long run people will see this as reason to not join or alternatively withdraw their steem entirely.
Yeah, I'm not concerned about those people, they have more than enough money for body guards and the best security money can buy.
Then common sense needs to prevail. Don't go to any meetups unless you know it's a genuine group meet in a very public place. Definitely food for thought. One day at a time. I'll cross these bridges as I get to them. Today was one little bridges as its given me some thought on my security. You have certainly got me thinking more about it. Thanks!
